PROTECT ONE OF YOUR MOST VALUABLE<br />

INVESTMENTS BY DEVELOPING A CONSISTENT<br />

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE<br />

By doing some simple preventative maintenance, you can extend the life<br />

of your home and minimize costly repairs.<br />

Painting - It is important to put a good coat of paint on your home which<br />

may mean painting every three to five years on an average, depending<br />

on the quality of the paint. Painting obviously improves the appearance<br />

of your home and protects your wood or hardiplank from the elements<br />

reducing rot. Don’t forget your ACC application along with paint color<br />

samples, which must be processed and approved first!<br />

Power washing - Take a walk around your property. If you see green or<br />

black mildew on your home and driveway, you can power wash the<br />

mildew off your gutters, home exterior, driveway and sidewalk. This small<br />

step of maintenance can keep your property looking well maintained.<br />

Gutters - Gutters need to be cleaned out on a regular basis. This time of<br />

year they fill up with pine needles and leaves. If the gutters are full of<br />

leaves and pine needles, they will not drain properly and will need to be<br />

cleaned. The extra weight will cause the gutter nails to become loose and<br />

the gutter will sag or fall from your home. Gutters are important as they<br />

protect the fascia boards.<br />

Landscaping - Trees, shrubs and seasonal flowers add a great deal to<br />

the value of your home and the community. Remember that over time<br />

trees and shrubs can become overgrown and unsightly. Please keep<br />

your landscaping well-trimmed and yard edged so that it enhances your<br />
